When does the Chinese New Year tradition throw garbage?

The saying of the year of throwing garbage in the New Year is that on the first day, you don't clean and take out the garbage, and on the fourth day, you have to throw away all the garbage at home.

You can't take out the garbage and sweep the floor on the first day of New Year's Day, otherwise you will sweep away all the good luck of the year and may even break the money. If you must sweep the floor, you must sweep it from the outside to the inside, that is, sweep good luck in. Today, many places still keep this custom, cleaning on New Year's Eve, not cleaning on New Year's Day, and not taking out the garbage.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the fourth year, you need to start cleaning up the god of wealth, so you should clean up well and get rid of what you don't want, which is called throwing away pity and misfortune. Therefore, in some places, you can welcome the arrival of the God of Wealth or Kitchen God with a brand-new look, which also represents the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Lunar new year:

The fourth day of the first lunar month is also called the Year of the Sheep. This is the day when China people meet God. In the old imperial calendar, it was often said that "three sheep (yang) open Thailand" is a symbol of good luck and a day to welcome the kitchen god back to the people. On the fourth day of lunar new year's eve, the whole family get together for a discount. The so-called discount is a hodgepodge of rice left over from cleaning up the new year's goods in a few days. Cleaning the room and stacking the garbage in one place is also called "throwing the poor" in China folklore.

Due to modern historical reasons, some areas in Putian and Xianyou, Fujian Province have the custom of being too old in the fourth day of junior high school, which has been included in the fifth batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage representative projects.
